DiceX Posted May 22, 2005 Author Share Posted May 22, 2005 Another pretty cool book. Halloween is definitely one of my favorites of the slasher flicks. Micheal Myers is one mean mutha...shut your mouth. Very cool cover that Chaos came out with on this one. It uses that original video cover/poster for the movie which is so classic. Also is a glow in the dark issue and limited to 6,666 copies (how clever!) Another book for the want list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
precodekeith Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 It's amazing how great the Internet has proven to be such an important tool in our hobby. It brings awareness to so many levels, on items that many would never have knew existed if not for its presence. Amen! In fact, I think the internet and venues such as eBay surpassed the Overstreet Price Guide in importance to this hobby when they hit the scene. Much more of a reflection of true FMV on auction sites, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bounty_coder Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Double Amen. eBay has really leveled the playing field for collectors. The internet has amplifies things to the nTH power. If you think about it, you can find certain books that it may of otherwise taken you a decade to find. Since the my time using eBay starting 1999, my collection has grown ten fold. Kinda scary! Haha, its now its own entity. -bounty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bounty_coder Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Oh man....Ohhhh man. This Leatherface Mini-series is by FAR the best Horror Slasher flick to ever make it into comics. Northstar really pulled off some great stuff in this series. They were looking to make an actual Texas Chainsaw Massacre Series after this one, but it never made it to print... Though, I guess you got to be happy with what you got, and this series was the cats pajamas for Slasher freaks like myself Alright, now the first issue had a really awesome Painted cover of Leatherface in a great pose. The remaining Issues had, drawn covers. Second issue has a pretty sweet scene with Leatherface shredding into a car through its front windshield. The remaining 2 issues had pretty crude covers. Issue #3, probably containing the most gruesome cover of the series. You can see entrails, guts and an eyeball on Leatherface work space. Great how they show the reflection in the cleaver of the lady's gutted boyfriend who is hanging upside down. Wow! Issue #4, not anything to amazing. Just leatherface standing in the Hewett's family pool of death after a fresh kill. Here is some of the freak'n sweet interior art to these books. The first image is from issue #1. They obviously switched interior artists for the remaining 3 books. Here in the first picture you have leatherface raising a sledge hammer and cracking a victim square in the head (brain matter going everywhere). Really brutul stuff in these mags. They were rated Mature! Next Image Leatherface is at it again with that sledgehammer. Never really have seen comics that were quite this graphic. But I'll tell you, if they were going to do it, doing it for the Texas Chainsaw Massacre series was the correct pick! Really great scenes illustrated in this series. I really like how the panels are almost seamless with eachother. Here we have Leatherface reving the mighty chainsaw right into a hanging victim, as shrills are let out, and Leatherface's psychotic sibling gets his kicks off of the event. Here one of the surviving victims gets some redemption with a knife stab right to the gullet. Leatherface, stands by his family members who was filled with bullets by the Lady in the previous page. Final image here one of the last surviving victims sneaks up on Leatherface as he is looking for her in the woods. She cracks him over the head with a good sized rock a few times and knocks him unconscious while his chainsaw goes wild buzzzzzing in the water with out an orchestrator to lead it. Simply great series if your a horror fanatic. It is graphic I will say that. But by far the best Movie to comic instance to ever grace the newstand! -bounty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SignatureSelect Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 The 1st movie was great And I love horror titles But I can't get into the TCM comics. One came out about 2 weeks ago and I just couldn't bring myself to buy it. It maybe the art or the fact that I will only watch the original and the remake and not 2-4 I dunno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayman Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Just picked up a copy of Tales To Terrible To Tell # 1 (first print) For those who don't know this was published by NEC and contains Pre-Code Horror reprints along with commentary writings about the publishers and stories. One question I have if anyone can answer is that on the inside cover it states that this issue is one of a serially numbered special edition. Does anyone know if all first printings were numbered and how many were printed? Oh, here is the cover that is very cool BTW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine they did 6,500 - 10,000 copies. I know it took them like four years to sell out & do a second print run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffro. Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Never really have seen comics that were quite this graphic. But I'll tell you, if they were going to do it, doing it for the Texas Chainsaw Massacre series was the correct pick! More graphic than Faust, or just about anything Tim Vigil Book? Faust is just disgusting. Don't think it was in color though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm reading this one right now and yes, I look goofy with my 3-D paper glasses on but I almost forgot how cool these 3-D books are to read! Ray Zone really did a great job on the 3-D effects.
